Got a pair of the new SL Stromtrooper from overseas yesterday, and I have to say this is my favorite modern Stormtrooper hands down:

He doesn't have the articulation, but I have ones that do, and it's the best sculpt they've ever done. Especially the helmet. Also got Luke, who also is my favorite Jedi Luke so far, sculpt wise. I love the approach on these figures. Hopefully the trend continues!

I ordered Wave 2 (Boba, Rex, Cody, and two Stormies) online for $6 apiece. While I'm not in love with this line, I do like them, but I also didn't feel like wasting time hunting for these new figures. The Stormies look great in pics online, so I'm curious to see if that holds up in person. And finally, a realistic Rex at long last!

I think the hold up is what they have out there now... These have been selling here slowly over the holiday, but slowly, and they don't generally see steep discounts except that BOGO dealio at TRU this past week.
